Okay, I don't want this to be war and peace, but I have news regarding bounceback offers, and the possibility of CR vacation club, so please read!!!

We spent 6 days at CR Tower, theme park view. Spectacular, as always to see the castle from your room.

Regarding construction:

A little noisy, yes. They start early, about 9 ish. If someone were to sleep in, you would definitely hear it. The lobby is partitioned off, but it did not affect our check in time. I am still super happy we stayed there, and still would not consider staying too many other places. Any other questions, please feel free to ask. And by the way, the construction I am referring to is on the 4th floor, not the outside construction of the future CR vacation club building.

You can't say that!!!! It's just a rumor, and Disney has not officially announced it yet!!!!!

Okay, well, a cast member, who shall remain nameless, and location where we talked with this person will also remain anonymous, who is about to leave the Disney Company told us that it is for sure. This person said that everyone knows it, but they are sworn to secrecy, of course, because they are still trying to sell all the AK Villas. No flames please, I am just relaying what I was told. I think most of us CR lovers either want to believe it is true, or know that the likelyhood is strong, so, enough said. I personally got excited to hear this.

Bouceback discount??? With free dining?????

Oh my...... Could it be true? No one even knows if they will offer free dining next year!!! Well, if you call before you check out of your resort, you WILL, yes WILL get free dining, during the same period offered this year. How do I know? Because I did it!! Disney crackhead that I am, I called before I left, by dialing 8844 from the resort, and spoke with Clarence, who is very great by the way. We got the same resort, same view, same free dining (yes I know the dining package changed, I am not concerned with that), and I booked it on the spot!! Woohoo!!!![/U][/U]

Go again during Labor Day Weekend???

Never again!!!! Never, never, never again!!! The crowds were unbearable, as was the heat, but I should have known that going in. I booked the dates I did because I wanted to spend my 5 year Disney Wedding Anniversary there. In the future? Never, never, never again. After Labor Day? Phenomenal!!! Crowds were amazingly light, we walked onto all the most popular rides, the longest was POTC at 1 pm, and the wait was only 20 minutes. By the way, Brazil is still partially on vacation at Disney World........

THE RUDEST THING I SAW.........

During the P&PP, which by the way, was amazing........well worth the extra money......the crowds are very light. As someone else posted, only like 13,000 tickets are sold? You can walk onto any ride with no wait. We went on the Winnie the Pooh ride three times in a row, and just walked on. So! During this no wait time, unheard of as that is, at the Teacups, (no, there weren't two women fighting), I see this guy open the exit gate as the ride stops, and people are exiting. I'm thinking he is going to open the gate for someone he is waiting for to get off the ride. No! He and his family get on the ride!!!! There is no line!!!! What's wrong with people!!!????!!!!! That, and the guy who's entire family cut in front of us on EE, just because he was waiting in line (by himself), and his family thought that gave them the right to have the whole family join him.........People suck sometimes!!!

Last minute comments

Disney is the most magical place on earth! I love every minute of it, and never want to leave! No one and nothing can ever take that away from me (and dd4). A general observation about people: The majority of people are very nice, very friendly, and have good manners. At least I think so. But the way some people allow their children to behave is mind boggling. I'm not talking about infants, I'm talking about kids that are old enough to know better. Kids that are way too old to be having public temper tantrums, and the parents just stand there and don't address it. Utterly unbelievable!! And in the most magical place on earth yet!!!!

A word about the folks I met from the Disboards

We hooked up with a wonderful solo traveler, and a couple from the UK, who joined us on our Wishes cruise. I can't say enough nice things about these folks. I am super glad we opened up our cruise, and were blessed with the opportunity to meet folks from the US, and also from halfway around the world, who share one thing in common-the love of Disney. Thanks to the disboards for that!!

Thanks for reading, and please feel free to ask questions!!!
 
I just wanted to comment on what you said about the future Disney Vacation Club building. Last month when my parents and I stayed at the Contemporary a Cast Member who in the past told me about the new arcade location before it was announced when everyone said I will believe it when WDW says something or I will see it for myself, told me that it's 100% going to be a Disney Vacation Club building. So I am choosing to believe this Cast Member since she has been right in the past, so no flames from me.
 
Great insight, trip report and comments lol, much appreciated!! I can't wait for the DVC at CRV, I'll be the first in line to buy more points there!! :thumbsup2 :cool1:
 
Thanks for the information. Every little bit helps as they say. So looking forward to our stay in 99 days!!!
